-Stop all Development of anything t12+ -
If you stop developing this content you will instantly lose a good part of your player base. Not only that when a t12+ player leaves the game that adds another alt box to the mix. I do not know any t12 tank that doesnt play which isnt used as a tank bot for someone who isnt t12....
-Mass focus on 2.5. If the person doesn't have the skills to work on 2.5 Then Focus on mass revamp of the server as a whole. -
it was my understanding that this is already the case. It was the case until people starting bitching moaning and crying about reform (which is understandable. I mentioned this in my review of shards of dalaya which people found to be completely one sided. i specifically mentioned this point. - http://www.emiliogarcia.net/reviews/shards-dalaya-review/ )
-Get Feedback from the crowd sub T8. -
There have been attempts at getting this. but normally as you can see there arent many vocal people in that crowd because they obviously have a lot to do. Please find me a guild that is sub t8 that is having a hard time finding content to do!?!?!. the competition is no longer in t8. Maybe 5 years ago but not today.
-Make new quests. -
Just like i bash crap on the server also giving credit where its due is important. Woldaff has worked his ass off adding new newbie quests for people to do. He even had to bribe people to do them by giving fame. The problem on this server is people want to bitch about what they do not have / cannot get and want it for free. There is literally a lot to do on this server and unfortunately another quest to farm a rare mob will only piss off the player base. Hell think of how many people were complaining about the vah.
-Revamp old zone's to make them more viable and fun. -
Zaela was going to do this but someone pissed in his cornflakes / her cornflakes. Making something more fun and staying within the vision of woldaff is rather difficult. His idea for server progression is +15hp +15AC and make everything enrage. both from the front to the side to fucking everything. To make the server more "fun" the vision he has for it has to change.
-Revamp Bounty System or Overhaul it completely to make it better.
Based on front page / April 1st things this seems to be happening.
-Do development towards the casual player and quality of life. -
Casual players are just that. Once you develop to casual players you will develop to a fickle few who really do not give a shit about this game and have no problem jumping ship regardless what you do for them. You will get a bunch of entitled people wanting the entire world for nothing. The people who like this server and continue to come back are not casual players.... they are all people who at one point or another raided and considered themserlves "hard core". Everquest has never been a game for "casuals".
-Implement a way to reduce down time in all area's. Time is the most valuable thing the player has. Wasting their time only make them not want to waste it playing here when other game's are quicker to get into and play as soon as you log in.
The only time you have "downtime" is during buffing. everything else is not that bad. If you happen to die well then fucking sucks for you. dont fucking die.
-Do something with buff timers. Holy shit make these things last 5 hours. With how many buff bots and easy it is to get them there is zero point why these things matter. It's a waste of player time to buff nobody wants to but is almost a requirement. -
increasing bufftimes is something i can be behind 100%.
-Patch note's and updates. Players like being told things are being worked on and improved for something they are putting so much time into. Even if it is just "Things were done this week. We patched a thing." -
100% behind this. This will also tell people that hey we're still working on this server. dont you worry cool shit is on the way.
/Gm-hat off
There was almost a suggestion out of Nebi in the Suggestions and Requests forum instead of some troll flame name calling.........world must be ending. - and since your gm hat was off. fuck you
Unless you hold DND parties on Fridays (Torleran), theory craft your own SOD Pen and paper game (Nwaij) its pretty difficult coming up with quests / stories for the game. At one time or another I wanted to become a dev until i really realized that its fucking hard to come up with shit. Just thinking of the shit I wanted my mob to say took forever to do. If we as a player base want changes and have cool ideas then you need to stop being bitch babies and turn them in. I do not and will never agree with an idea of
"Hey give me what that cool guy is getting and put in no additional work" .
